CVE-2022-40621
Last modified
CVE-2022-40621 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Because the WAVLINK Quantum D4G (WN531G3) running firmware version M31G3.V5030.200325 and earlier communicates over HTTP and not HTTPS, and because the hashing mechanism does not rely on a server-supplied key, it is possible for an attacker with sufficient network access to capture the hashed password of a logged on user and use it in a classic Pass-the-Hash style attack.. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
